UK PIDA — Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (ERA 1996 Part IVA)

# UK PIDA — Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (ERA 1996 Part IVA) — 100% of in-scope requirements covered.

3 requirements · 2 in scope (2 enforced) · 1 out-of-scope (outside KYE™’s authority layer). The 100% is weighted over the in-scope base.

**Source:** The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 amended the Employment Rights Act 1996 (Part IVA) to protect workers who make a 'protected disclosure' (a qualifying disclosure made in the public interest) from detriment and from dismissal. A worker subjected to a detriment, or dismissed, on the ground that they made a protected disclosure has a claim; dismissal on that ground is automatically unfair. KYE Protocol™ governs whether an AI-assisted handling of a protected disclosure, or an adverse action that touches a worker who made one, may PROCEED — under a named handler's authority, with a recorded retaliation / detriment-risk assessment before any adverse action, and a contestability record so a detriment or dismissal claim can be reconstructed. KYE™ does not decide whether the disclosure qualifies, whether a detriment occurred, or adjudicate the employment claim. · **License:** UK statutes are Crown copyright, reproduced under the Open Government Licence for mapping purposes; KYE™ registry paraphrases each requirement's intent and cites the official statute identifier.
